AUC offers an innovative and exciting pathway

to a medical degree through a partnership

with the UCLan. This degree track is open to

qualified non-US citizen students holding a

Bachelor’s degree who seek a rigorous medical

education program designed to help them master

the basic medical sciences and develop the

necessary clinical skills to practice medicine.

This is a four-year program consisting of a

160-week curriculum, with the first two years

focused on studying the medical sciences

and learning how to integrate what they learn

with clinical practice. Students will complete

UCLan’s Post Graduate Diploma in International

Medical Sciences Program, which AUC and its

accreditor recognize as equivalent to the AUC

medical sciences curriculum. Students have

early clinical exposure with medical cases and

patient simulators and learn through a variety

of teaching formats, including lecture, small-

group sessions, and laboratory activities. This

phase of study prepares students for United

States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE)

Step 1, which is required for progression to

the clinical sciences portion of the medical

degree program. During the final two years

of the medical degree program, students

complete clinical clerkship rotations in the wide

network of AUC-affiliated teaching hospitals.

AUC’s Record of SuccessAUC has provided medical education

for over 40 years and has over 6,900

graduates from over 73 countries.

Student AchievementAUC’s curriculum is designed to prepare

students to succeed on all parts of the

USMLE. USMLE Step 1 is one of the most

important factors that leaders of postgraduate

residency training programs consider when

evaluating applicants. AUC students’ five-

year cumulative first-time pass rate for USMLE

Step 1 is 93.7 percent for period, 2013–2017.

Quality Clinical TrainingAUC medical students have the opportunity

to begin their studies in the UK but develop

their medical and clinical skills at hospitals

and health systems around the world.

Graduate SuccessAny medical school should be evaluated

by the career opportunities secured by its

graduates. After medical school, most AUC

graduates seek a residency position in the

United States. In 2019, 90 percent of AUC

graduates applying for residency positions in

their first year of eligibility secured a position.

ScholarshipsAUC is committed to helping committed

and capable students relieve the

We offer a scholarship specifically for

international (non-US citizen) students.

Accredited Medical Degree ProgramAUC is accredited by the Accreditation

Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM),

which is the accreditor used by the country

of St. Maarten. The United States Department

of Education, via the National Committee on

Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation

(NCFMEA), reviews the standards that

countries use to accredit medical schools. The

NCFMEA has determined that the ACCM’s

accreditation standards are comparable to

those set by the Liaison Committee on Medical

Education (LCME), which accredits medical

education programs in the United States.
